After their wedding in October of 2013, Chris and Katie have gotten their portraits taken with Jason every year around their anniversary. Busy schedules pushed our shoot just a couple of months past their third anniversary, but that day had worked out beautifully for everyone. I suggested venturing out around Silverback Distillery in Nelson County, where gorgeous mountainous views are a-plenty. We could ultimately take advantage of a tasting (except for me who’s allergic to alcohol) as well as pick up a few last minute holiday gifts. Silverback is also dog-friendly, so we were able to include Sage, Chris and Katie’s adorable Australian Shepherd, who predictably melted the hearts of all the patrons and staff.

We all piled into my Honda Element and headed for Nelson County. After parking and checking in with the distillery, the five of us took a short walk around the area to catch the light. Here are a few images from that walk.

And of course, one has to have their photo taken with the big gorilla when visiting Silverback!
